Distribution authorized to the Department of Defense and DOD contractors only for official use or for administration or operational purposes. This determination was made on 27 October 1987. Other requests for this document will be referred to Commander, US Army Communications-Electronics Command and Fort Monmouth, ATTN: AMSEL-ME-P, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703-5000. DESTRUCTION NOTICE – Destroy by any method that will prevent disclosure of contents or reconstruction of the document.
A lithium-sulfur dioxide (Li-SO2) battery used with the AN/PRC-126 Radio Set contains pressurized sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas. The gas is toxic, and the battery MUST NOT be abused in any way which may cause the battery to rupture. DO NOT heat, short circuit, crush, puncture, mutilate, or disassemble batteries. DO NOT USE any battery which shows signs of damage, such as bulging, swelling, disfigurement, brown liquid in the plastic wrap, a swollen plastic wrap, etc. DO NOT test Li-SO2 batteries for capacity. DO NOT recharge Li-SO2 batteries. If the battery compartment becomes hot to the touch, if you hear a hissing sound (i.e., battery venting), or smell irritating sulfur dioxide gas, IMMEDIATELY Turn Off the equipment. Remove the equipment to a well ventilated area or leave the area. DO NOT use a Halon type fire extinguisher on a lithium battery fire.
A
In the event of a fire, near a lithium battery (ies), rapid cooling of the battery (ies) is important. Use a carbon dioxide (CO 2) extinguisher. Control of the equipment fire, and cooling, may prevent the battery from venting and potentially exposing lithium metal. In the event that lithium metal becomes involved in fire, the use of a graphite based Class D fire extinguisher is recommended, such as Lith-X or MET-L-X. DO NOT use water to extinguish Li-SO2 battery fires if a Shock hazard exists due to high voltage electrical equipment in the immediate vicinity (i.e., greater than 30 volts, alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc)). DO NOT store lithium batteries with other hazardous materials and keep them away from open flame or heat.
DO NOT store batteries in unused equipment for more than 30 days. Contact your local Fire Department for selection and approval of lithium battery storage areas, and selection of appropriate fire extinguishing equipment. Store lithium batteries in a cool (i. e., less than 130 degrees F), dry, well ventilated area. For bulk storage use a sprinkler protected area, and as a second choice store in a noncombustible area. B
DO NOT dispose of lithium batteries with ordinary trash/refuse. Turn in batteries to your local serving Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office. Only use batteries (items 1, 2 or 3, App. D) which have been authorized for this equipment. Hold onto both RT unit and SVM when loosening securing screws. Do not key transmitter with antenna connector shorted out.

SECTION IV. OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS 2-11. OPERATION AT LOW TEMPERATURES Radio Set AN/PRC-126 can operate to -40 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 degrees Celsius) below zero. However, you must keep the operating controls and connectors free of ice. The same holds true for the antenna as ice on the antenna will reduce or distort the signal. The battery should be kept as warm as possible. 2-12. OPERATION AT HIGH TEMPERATURES Radio Set AN/PRC-126 can operate to 131 degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius) above zero. However, in hot, dry climates, the connectors and operating controls are subject to damage from dust and dirt. When not in use, keep the connectors covered. Keep the operating controls as dust and dirt free as possible. Constant exposure to the sun could cause damage so try to keep the equipment out of the sun as much as possible.
2-26
2-13. OPERATION IN TROPICAL CLIMATES In warm, damp climates, the equipment is subject to damage from moisture and fungi. Wipe all moisture and fungi from the equipment with a dry, lint-free cloth. Should Radio Set AN/PRC-126 happen to fall into water, remember that it is watertight to a depth of about 3 feet. 2-14. OPERATION DURING JAMMING A common jamming procedure is the transmission of a strong or annoying signal on your operating channel, making it difficult or impossible for you to maintain communications. Sometimes this signal may be from a friendly station. It is also possible that the unusual noise or interference may be due to a bad Radio Set AN/PRC-126. To check it out, do the following: a. Disconnect the antenna in accordance with paragraph 2-10. b. Set ANT match switch to 50 position.
Do not key transmitter with antenna connector shorted out. c. Short out the antenna connector with available material (e. g., wire or Long Antenna). 2-27
d. If you still have noise or interference, you have a bad Radio Set AN/PRC-126. If the noise or interference goes away, you are being jammed. Report jamming as soon as possible to officer in charge. One or more of the following antijamming procedures may allow you to continue operating Radio Set AN/PRC-126. (1) Try to use a nearby obstruction as a screen. Position yourself so that the obstruction acts as a screen between the radio and the possible source of interference. (2) Point your radio in the direction of the distant station you are communicating with. Try several positions. (3) Change the setting of the VOL control. This may raise the level of the desired signal enough to be heard over the jamming signal. (4) If none of the above works, get permission to change to another channel. 2-15. SECURE VOICE OPERATION If secure voice operation is required install secure voice module (refer to para 2-8). After secure voice module installation, the radio set is operated in accordance with paragraph 2-5, Normal Operation. 2-28
